Well searching for something else I exit we came upon this Universalist website. I took a quick glance and it got me thinking. How would you answer this guys arguments against hell and against the existence of immortal souls?

If there is no such thing as Hell than the Lord Jesus does not need to come to end the planet at His Second Coming. Universalists who think that everyone will be saved have forgotten about the Second Coming. If God going to save everybody there is no need to end the history of this planet. The Second Coming tells us this is a preventive measure to make sure the majority will not enter Hell!
Matthew: 10:28 “Do not fear those who deprive the body of life but cannot destroy the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both body and soul in Gehenna.” I am very happy to be a Catholic, because it passes on the truth of Revelation in its fullness. The error of breaking from the Church which is forever guided by the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised it would be, has created from 27,000 to 30,000 sects of Christianity of which here is another sad example. As to the number of those condemned to Hell, the Church has never made a teaching on that nor named any particular person as condemned to Hell. I have often heard it said that those who do go there choose to be eternally separated from God. This particular person in his criticisms never even alludes to the Catholic teaching of Purgatory. which St. John Vianney called “the infirmary of the Good God.” Also Vatican II stated all men of good well can be saved in following the dictates of their conscience.
Matthew 25:45-46 This is the last verse in the “Judgement of the Nations”: Jesus is describing the fate of those who act with love and charity and those who don’t:
Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
So did Jesus lie?
This is an example why a person needs the church, for the devil himself twists the bible to mis-guide. You can prove anything by the bible thru a quote. But the church knows what the truth is whether the bible exists or not. The church is the pillar of truth and this is what Jesus gave to us so that we wouldn’t get lost with mis-interpreting and mis-understanding of the bible.
As Philip was sent to the man travelling on the road. Philip asked him if he understood what he was reading in his bible. And the man replied with a question,“How can I if I have noone to explain it?”
Someone will always try to use the bible to make their case. But it is the church that Jesus left that has his unchangable truth.
Praise be to Jesus Christ.
